in my day it was playing overage playersDo Chapelfield Colts still try and poach everyone else's best players?
in my day it was playing overage players
back in the 80s there were 12 leaguesCov and district leagues, only 5 divisions now. It's still fun, some proper tackles
Saw a few games this season, they have all been a bit soft. No bad tackles, apologising and too busy doing their hair trying to act like they are pros.
Not a single can of beer, not a single good shout or insult, very tame.
A few years ago the whole team would pile in after a bad tackle, they were all over apologising.
What's the Sunday league standard like in Cov?
Shit! Traditionally, Saturday is football day and thats where/when the best players are playing.

Lay off Chaps hey boys? I was player manager of the men's team up until 2 seasons ago when I packed it in. We eventually broke away from the club and ran it ourselves because they were a pain in the Arse. We went from youth straight to men's football. Started from the very bottom and worked our way up. Some lovely blokes down at that level. Still have a slight scar from a rib high tackle that came in on me. I do miss it.

I never had a problem acknowledging my (limited) ability on the pitch and always said I'd carry on playing until I stopped enjoying it, and that was the reason (Well, that and a reoccurring knee problem.) Too many sock cookers turning up on a Sunday morning, not just pissed up but drugged up too.
Big mention should go to all the refs (of varying ability!) who at times took all sorts of crap from aforementioned super stars. Coundon Hall park could at times be a lonely place I'm sure, with no cameras or big crowds to witness the degree of threatening behaviour and on occasion assaults that would sometimes come their way.
